My 10 favourite music videos

My chosen 10 music videos


Pitbull Christina Aguilera-feel this moment
  • I really like the use of multiple screens I think this makes much more interesting rather than just using one screen all the time.
  • I like the use of lighting in this video. They edited the lighting so that it goes with the beat in the music which I also feel its engaging to watch
  • I also like the way the editing pace fits with the beats of the music.
  • The use of a lot different camera angles, long shot and close ups.
  • Although this music video is in black and white, it gets me engaged because of the performance.


Katy Perry-roar
  • I really like the use of the long shots
  • I like the special effects that they used for the tiger when he was in the air.
  • The different camera movements they used were really good, they used a range of panning which I found very interesting
  • I also thought that the locations and they used for this music video really went will with the lyrics in the music.
  • I also felt that the storyline fitted very well.


Jessie J-wild
  • I really like how in the beginning the camera is moving with her footsteps.
  • I really like the different camera movements that fit with the music
  • Also the editing is very well fitted with the beat of the music as well
  • In the beginning where she moves the camera with her hands feels like she's actually engaging with us.
  • The panning around her and when she looks at the camera, lets me feel that she still is engaging with the audience.
  • Not many locations at all but the way the camera and editing is shown it doesn't look boring at all.
  • The use of turning the camera to let us know who is singing.
  • I really most of all just love her acting. Even though the music video is in black and white it still makes it interesting for me to watch because of her performance.


Ellie Goulding- I need your love
  • I like in the beginning when she's really looking into the camera
  • I like the use of handheld camera movements, it makes it look really realistic
  • The way they use handheld all the way is very different, so it gets me engaged
  • The use of camera movements is really good, a lot of different panning.
  • They really look in to the camera, that makes me feel that she is really trying to engage with the audience.


Demi Lovato- Heart attack
  • I really like the use of close ups in this music video
  • I like the way she looks into the camera a lot
  • I like the use of when she say 'glow' the lights turn on. The way they edited that goes with the lyrics.
  • The way the lighting and the editing go with the beat of the music
  • When we are shown a front shot of demi and the band, it tells us that okay that's the band that's playing the music. Its not that common in music videos.
  • I also really like the performance in this video, that gets me to watch the video more.


MKTO- Classic
  • I like the use of fast cuts in the beginning. To the person who's singing and back to let the audience know that there is two people.
  • They try and go back to the two shots of the performances to always let us know that its about these two people.
  • The use of lighting when they use the side shot is very effective. 
  • In  the second chorus the colour of the background changes, not much done to it but its still effective, you don't really realise it.  
  • They edit to the other guy to let us know who's signing now.
  • The use of camera movements is very good, its all matching with the music.
  • They always look into the camera as well. Again engaging with the audience


Jason Derulo- The other side
  • I really like the lighting used in this music video
  • I like the editing which matches with the beat of the music
  • I really like the different camera angles like the one from the bed
  • I like the use of fast spilt screens
  • I really like the fast cuts they do and the use of fast paced editing
  • when they are dancing, I only see the main performer which I think is because he is really good at dancing.



Bruno mars-Just the way you are
  • I think the way he looks straight into the camera makes me feel that he has talking to me directly
  • I like the use of tape that they do and play around with effects.
  • How the image they make match with the lyrics is engaging also because its something unusual that they use that in a music video
  • the sun light they used makes my eyes go straight to that and that's where the performer is.
  • The camera shot from the back and the blur where they show the tap image again is very effective, its different
  • the close ups and the long short of him when he is on the piano is very good
  • I like it how they show the tape image of him playing the piano and then the camera pans up to show the performer really playing it so it seems more realistic.



Rihanna-we found love
  • the beginning, the close ups of her is really goof
  • the special effect of using speed goes with the music and I feel that this makes it really effective
  • I really like the use of colour. I feel like it really suits the performer
  • The performance I feel that it is amazing and it keeps me engaged all the way
  • She looks at the camera often which makes me feel she's talking to us
  • the really fast cuts I think is really good, I think it makes it more interesting
  • the use of long shots when she is on the swing tells us where she is
  • the slow motion when the fireworks start is very effective and keeps me excited.

Jennifer Lopez-dance again
  • I like the use of special effect on the main performer.
  • I think this makes It really effective as it makes us only focus on her.
  • even with all the people surrounding her, she still stands out.
  • The different camera shots, the close up, the side shot and the shot from above is all very effective and because they use a range it still gets me engaged in to it.
  • In the middle of the song where they add the dancing of just them two, this brings them out more and gets me more interested to watch it because they are really good
  • They make me keep my eye on the main performer
  • the use of fast cutting near the end is very effective
  • I really like the lighting In it, the different colour of light they used is very effective.
